I'm a pretty big Wu-Tang Clan fan, so I'm kinda pre-sold on seeing things with the W logo. It's unclear if these guys have any meaningful connection to the actual Wu-Tang Clan, or if they are just canny dudes franchising the name and hoping to piggyback on the Wu's credibility.

Wu-Tang Clan

Wu-Tang Clan is a pioneering hip hop group, originally from Staten Island, New York, USA (Staten Island is referred to as "Shaolin" in their lyrics).

The crew was initially composed of nine MCs, though it was reduced to eight with the death of original member Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004. All nine members have released solo albums, and the group has spawned many affiliate groups. This was the plan from the group's inception: to become an empire by taking over the hip hop community through saturation of like minded artists.

Though the group's style has evolved considerably over the years, and the solo projects of individual members differ in tone and content, the group is generally well-known for thumping, surreal beats and aggressive lyrics loaded with metaphor, references to life in New York City, and allusions to Chinese folklore and martial arts films.
